Quite misogynistic and slow but the ending was good and a lot of philosophical things to annotate.

There is no true horror than the horror humans create themselves. The Picture of Dorian Gray is a classic tale of hubris and vanity, and the sins that associate themselves with such. Oscar Wilde's macabre style is fascinating for its time, and the idea that the painting is a representation of his Gray's own soul is intelligent. The only downside to this reading was the narrator who made hardly any differentiation between the voices, so at points made it difficult to follow the characters. His voice was also quite monotonous.

Henry you would have loved Twitter and Dorian you wouldn't even have to sell your soul for some lip fillers.

I wanted to like Oscar Wilde but I hated Dorian. Just detested him.. And the writing was overly descriptive and flowery. I feel like the only redeeming element of the story was the plot but it disappeared within paragraphs that seemed so pointless to me
